In this episode of the Beat Your Addiction podcast, John Giordano and Scott Jones delve into the evolving landscape of addiction and addiction treatment. Over the past 37 years, John has witnessed significant changes in the field, particularly in the potency and dangers of modern drugs. Unlike the past, where controlled use was sometimes considered, today's drugs can lead to fatal outcomes with a single wrong dosage. John highlights the importance of understanding the connection between mental health and addiction.
He discusses innovative treatments like Ibogaine, a psychedelic therapy that detoxifies individuals from opioids within 24 hours and encourages recovery. At JC's Recovery Center, they offer comprehensive treatments, including hyperbaric medicine to heal brain damage caused by substances. The episode underscores the necessity of combining mental health and addiction expertise, as specialists often lack knowledge in both areas. John advocates for integrated care approaches to improve recovery rates, which are currently inadequate.
He stresses the importance of being proactive in seeking appropriate help and urges listeners to research and verify information for themselves. Despite challenges in the field, John remains hopeful and motivated. He emphasizes the need for progress in addiction treatment models and encourages continuous efforts to improve outcomes. The podcast concludes with a reminder to practice kindness daily, fostering personal well-being and positive interactions.
Listeners are urged to check out JC's Recovery Center for more information and access John's resources, including books and articles, to further explore the topic of addiction treatment.
